I told him about the headaches, the brain fog, the sleepiness, fatigue...and the constant pain around my eyes (sinus area).
He said my sinuses looked great on my recent MRI (I love electronic health records). And then he asked me if I have ever been evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea. Apparently, it could account for ALL of my symptoms.
Sleep Apnea? Wow. What if everything I've been going through could be explained? And treated easily? What if the past four years of my life were a bad dream?
The only hesitation is that I don't have the typical risk factors associated with OSA. I am not overweight, not male, and DH has never complained about me snoring...Still...my sleep study is scheduled in two months.
I hate to get my hopes up, but if this is "it", I will be eternally grateful.
You do sound like someone with sleep apnea, often they can't stay awake.
ReplyDeleteThere are two kinds of sleep apnea.
The common one, obstructive sleep apnea, is where your airway closes, and you snore, snort, make strangling noises, and then rouse enough to start breathing again. High blood pressure can go along with this.
The other kind is central sleep apnea, where your brain just "forgets" to breathe for a while. In that case, there is no noise, as you aren't trying to breathe. Some medications can cause this - I don't know about the ones you're on, doesn't seem likely.
A sleep study would find both of these.
2 months wait? Hmmm. Just a simple overnight pulse-ox would give some indication, as a screening. In sleep apnea, your oxygenation would show rises and drops.

Thanks to Dr Udebhu who cured me of Herpes1&2. I contacted Herpes1&2, 2 years ago, the symptoms were already showing in me, due to my incessant failing health. Until a friend saw Dr Udebhu recommendation online, on how he has helped so many people, and we decided to reach him. And he applied his herbal medicine on me, and I bounce back to my previous heath status. In case you want to reach him for a similar issue you can reach him on his email:Dr.udebhuherbalhome@gmail.comHis WhatsApp Number: +2347055034896
DeleteMy husband was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea after I begged him to be tested given his snoring. In addition to the snoring, he's male :) but otherwise has no other of the most common risk factors (his weight is normal, etc).
ReplyDeleteI confess that I have rarely seen sleep apnea in patients who don't snore - but perhaps we docs aren't looking for it as aggressively as we should?
Thanks for sharing your story so courageously.
Hello -- The following kinds of people have the high risk of developing sleep apnea:
ReplyDelete- one who leaves snoring untreated
- Obese
- Consumes excessive alcohol
- Have breathing problems caused by nasal obstructions like polyps, enlarged turbinates, etc
- Suffer from anatomical defects in the nose/throat area like deviated septum, enlarged tongue or tonsils, misaligned jaws, crooked bone at the bridge of the nose, etc.
There may be plenty of other sleep apnea causes, but don't worry, the condition is treatable if you seek urgent medical treatment.
For more about this sleep disorder, here's my website: http://apneatreatmentguide.com/
Cheers for a good night's sleep!
There have been studies correlating sleep apnea and asthma. Sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder characterized by disruption in breathing as a person sleeps. The pauses are called apneas, and it can last in a period of time that normal breathing is disrupted, causing the person to skip one or more breaths.

All thanks to Dr. Imoloa if not for him I don't know what will have become of me today. I married my husband who was HIV positive like myself. We accepted it as fate since there is no cure. Two years after our marriage my life was torn apart when our family doctor diagnosed me of genital herpes virus I know it was from my ex whom I have dated years back. I became very worried because I don't know what will be my husband judgment when he finds out. I searched everywhere both on internet for cure but no success until my husband started suspecting but still he wasn't sure. I don't want to loose my marriage I prayed everyday with hope that there is a cure. I searched without rest blogs, websites, everything google says about herpes and cure and peoples comments one evening after work I was surfing the internet on herpes cure I saw a friend who was giving testimony on how DR. Imoloa have helped cured her of her herpes virus I immediately contacted her to confirm if her testimony was real. She told me it was. She also told me about African Herbs and Herbalist and Dr imoloa. She then gave me Dr. imoloa contact, which I contacted him immediately. He told me about his Herbal Medicines and how he has helped many people get healthy with fruits and vegetables and also cured many with his Roots and traditional Herbs, I was interested. He prepared and sent me Herbal medicine for both HERPES & HIV through DHL I used this medicines for both HERPES and HIV carefully as was prescribed by him for 1week and 4days without my husband notice. I waited for a month then went for medical test in a different hospital and I was both herpes and HIV negative I felt reborn. I showed my husband my result and told him everything including DR imoloa. He contacted DR imoloa who also sent him HIV Herbal Medicine. He used this Medicines for just 8days, then we both went to our family doctor who confirmed my husband HIV negative and me still negative. Our family doctor, Dr Paul is a good Christian and often advice his patients to use natural remedy. Based on confidential he do introduce some of his patients to DR imoloa for Herbal cure.

I can never appreciate Tokubo enough for helping me because I never thought that i will ever have a normal life again thinking I'll never get out of this hiv virus in my whole life but i was wrong. My story goes thus: I found dr tokubo contact in a post i followed online, I copied the email and contacted him because i read about how he cure a man of hiv and that he have herbal remedy for cancer, yeast infection,HIV, Herpes e.t.c. I told him all he needed to know about my hiv status and he told me to relax and stay calm that he will help me by sending his medicine to me via courier delivery and he did as he promised. I received my healing within 10 days of using his herbal remedy. my lost joy came back alive as there is no more HIV, no symptoms, no fear of transmitting the virus to my love ones. Now I'm in a relationship and my sex life is awesome. All these happened last month ago and I decided to keep silent because I wanted to be sure of the healing. Now I'm saying this because I have undergone series of medical check up and all results came out negative. At first i thought it was just a joke until i tried it out and it worked perfectly well. The doctor never asked me to talk about him but I see it as my little way of showing other people out there need his herbal medicine to be cured. You can reach dr tokubo via his email at: drtokubotemple@gmail.com or you can whatsapp him on: +2349037990322
